447: Experience Ruston's New CEO Reveals the 3-Word Framework Every DMO Needs with Tori Davis

from Destination Marketing Podcast · host Brand Revolt

Tori Davis, President & CEO of Experience Ruston, Louisiana, joins Adam Stoker to talk about her path from marketing intern to DMO CEO, and the "three I's" framework she's using to guide the destination — Impact, Investment, and Identity. She and Adam also dig into how Ruston is preparing for Louisiana's first Buc-ee's, using it as a gateway rather than a distraction from the rest of what the destination offers. Plus, Adam opens the show with a look at how the World Cup is proving that live sports and events can build international trust and travel demand that outlasts economic and political headlines.
